Sam I Am Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Finally had enough good weather to get some pics. This started out as a combo between a glue bomb and a partially started kit. One of which was an original issue. I have not completed a 1/8 build ever. Last aborted attempt was when I was 10-11 years old. Even though there are a few things I would do differently, and a few more details I would add, I am just happy to have one under the belt. I am also pleased with how it turned out. Edited November 23, 2020 by Sam I Am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Sam, This turned out very well. I like the simple use of green, white and black with very minimal chrome on a couple of accent pieces - Clean paintwork and assembly - Well done. I have a partially built original kit that a buddy gave me long ago. He acquired it from a thrift store - I can see him now opening the box once, saw the soft vinyl interior parts and that was enough. He upholstered cars and air planes for a living. I figured with his experience, if he couldn't wrestle the vinyl pieces into place, there was no way that I could do it. You get extra respect from me for making that work.

JasonC Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Whats the difference between this kit and the Big Red Rod? Cause i just finished the Big Red Rod and looking at them, they seem to be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waiting until the display case was finished before posting one last picture. The neighbor provided some tiger wood for the base, then I cleaned up the tank...ummm...display case, and voila!
